I'm in the midwest too and what I do with my out door tiki bar is to remove the thatch in the off season. The corrugated roof stays up all year, but the grass is on top of it just for the summer. And, you can get a good look without 100% coverage. Cheap alternative: You've got a lot of roof there. You can just buy some grass skirts, kinda bundle two or three together and tie around the tops of your main posts, letting them just hang there blowing around a bit in that gentle Saginaw breeze. (I know you get a gentle Saginaw breeze, I've been there.)
